Stuck for something to do this evening?

London Cocktail Week

Wow - despite the evenings' drawing in & the miserable grey weather (surprise, it's raining again!) October is certainly the time to be living in London! The month is jam-packed with things-to-do that will help take your mind off the fact winter is nearly here - including the start of one particular event that holds a very special place in all the girls at Odabash HQ's hearts - that's right, today sees the launch of London Cocktail Week.

Head to Covent Garden's Seven Dials Village for a plethora of pop-up cocktail bars, sampling menu's & all-out cocktail parties - we'll be at The Ivy on Thursday for The Global Cocktail Challenge final on Thursday, tickets available here.

We doubt it will be Tom Cruise serving up the drinks, but we think a Martini at London Cocktail Week is going to be pretty impressive nevertheless!

London Chocolate Week
As if cocktails on a Monday night weren't dangerous enough, today is also the first day of London Chocolate Week - head to Selfridges food court, Liberty of London or Whole Foods, Piccadilly for tasting sessions (some complimentary!) or for the real chocoholics, hot foot it to Fortnum & Mason on Friday night for a chocolate-cookery class with their in house expert chocolatiers. See the full line up of events here

Forget the chocolate-cookery class, Fortnum & Mason are also running chocolate afternoon teas all this week
